@joplatt.bsky.social would you please attend this event about our beautiful planet on 27th November?

www.theguardian.com/politics/202... Hello labour government. Please make sure you balance nature and ecological issues in your planning & infrastructure bill. Your constituents care about this and will make a point of saying so in the May local elections if you get this wrong. @joplatt.bsky.social

theriverstrust.org/about-us/new... Really interesting feedback from #BigRiverWatch. Pleased to have taken part and lovely to see one of my photos used! Love that the data collected supports the link between good mental health and time spent in nature.

Now that amendment 130 has been secured in The Lords for the Infrastructure bill we need MP support to keep it in the proposed legislation. Can you help by writing to your MP? Protect nature now. action.wildlifetrusts.org/page/180301/...

Hello @joplatt.bsky.social can you please commit your time and energy to this on behalf of the people of Atherton & Leigh @zero-hour.bsky.social thecncc.org

How fantastic to see that Sir David Attenborough backs the wildlife trusts’ bid to buy The Rothbury estate in Northumberland. So much opportunity for nature friendly farming and nature protection and restoration - BBC News

Next week the planning and infrastructure bill is to be debated in The Lords. This is our last chance to get this right says @freshwaterhabitats.bsky.social freshwaterhabitats.org.uk/news/last-ch...

This cause is about rewilding church owned lands- please sign so we can bring it to the attention of the new designate arch bishop of Canterbury: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/he...

freshwaterhabitats.org.uk/news/small-w... Important message here from @freshwaterhabitats.bsky.social about the value of small waters. Politicians, environmentalists, conservationists and climate change activists please read and take note.

Have been busy over the weekend taking part in the Big River Watch across the beautiful county of Northumberland

Congratulations to The Lionesses, what an awesome achievement.

So following a visit with @freshwaterhabitats.bsky.social and Natural England last week Miliband launches his state of the climate annual report, a truth telling exercise. Good but what we need is action to deliver impact. What is going to change and by when? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🚨 “The government failing to debate the Climate and Nature Bill on 11 July is a betrayal. Keir Starmer, you said in your manifesto that the climate-nature crisis is “the greatest long‑term global challenge that we face”. Now is the time to deliver the legislation required to tackle it.” #CANBill

Hey! I just signed a petition calling on the UN to ban fossil fuel lobbyists from the Global Plastics Treaty negotiations. Companies like Shell make billions turning oil and gas into plastic - so they’re trying to sabotage the talks to protect their profits and block real action. Let’s stop them!

Look who I met this morning at a newly created urban pond near me. This pond brings wildlife to a new urban development and has colonisedcreally quickly from what was a building site 3 years ago.

Have you watched this yet? Brutal in places yet also full of hope. Save the oceans, save our planet. Can we achieve the 30% protected no take zones by 2030? This film shows what can happen if we do. A win for both nature and fishing. youtu.be/cIZAdCtKT_g

This is a serious oversight when you consider small waterbodies make up 70% of freshwater landscapes. We will need to keep pushing this important agenda.

view.email.rspb.org.uk?qs=b9fc2bd7e... I’ve just taken action and written to @joplatt.bsky.social and @rachelreeves.bsky.social Can you join me in asking them to scrap phase 3 which will not support nature. Thank you.

During #mentalhealthawarenessweek I spoke to @nationaltrust.org.uk legators at beautiful Little Moreton Hall. I talked about the impact of nature & culture & beauty on our wellbeing just as Octavia Hill,founder member, foresaw. Gifts in wills can fund wellness & so much more. Thanks to our donors.

Join me and tell the government to protect our marine havens. act.for-the-ocean.org/act/protect-...

Signed and posted.

The UN agreed a Global Ocean Treaty which is key to protecting 30% of our oceans by 2030, currently less than 3% is properly protected. To make this happen, we need at least 60 countries to sign it into law. The UK should show leadership & implement it & support a ban on deep sea mining immediately.

I’ve just written to my MP @joplatt.bsky.social about this important matter. Can you do the same with your MP?

Great read, 5 reasons ehy we need a freshwater network to help solve our biodiversity crisis from @freshwaterhabitats.bsky.social freshwaterhabitats.org.uk/news/five-re...

Great set of ecologically sound principles to follow in the thread below. @freshwaterhabitats.bsky.social would be pleased to talk to potential partners to deliver on this ambition. Do get in touch to find out more.

Simply the best, 20 times over. Congratulations to my awesome team Liverpool. Come on you reds! www.liverpoolfc.com

The reason why protest is essential to political change is that only when people *see* the scale of discontent do they realise they are not alone, and that the tide can turn.

We need to spread the word. Tell the UK government to stop deep sea mining before it starts. Can you sign the petition from @greenpeaceuk.bsky.social

Can you please sign this open letter to the Prime Minister to ensure everyone who needs childrens palliative care gets it, no matter where they live. Thank You www.togetherforshortlives.org.uk/built-to-las...

Worried about the Planning and Infrastructure Bill? We are, but one way to get the best from the Bill is to ensure experts in NGOs and the private sector can get involved to help Natural England do good job - see Freshwater Habitats Trust viewpoint: freshwaterhabitats.org.uk/news/what-wi...

The £100m investment from government has been hugely encouraging, but we know hospices are still under significant financial pressure with rapidly rising costs. We want to work closely with government on the long term sustainability of the hospice sector. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Monster fishing vessels are hoovering up whole ecosystems in UK waters that are supposed to be protected. I just signed a petition calling on the new government to save our seas from destructive fishing, by banning supertrawlers in UK Marine Protected Areas. Will you join me?

Hey! I just voted in this poll - will you join me? Should tea-bags HAVE to be plastic-free, even if they cost more? Vote YES/NO now >>

Done. Letter has gone to @joplatt.bsky.social Jo, please do attend this event to examine the options around clean water. Thank you

Can you sign this petition to ensure people with coeliac disease can get gluten free food on prescription? A weekly shop For a coeliac can cost upto 35% more though gluten free food is a medical necessity. chng.it/CfJhXC5Z8S

Interesting read from the CBI for naysayers around the impact of net zero policies and accompanying growth opportunities. www.cbi.org.uk/articles/gro...

Loved Kate Fox’s poems at the launch of @naturenorth.bsky.social strategy today. They really brought everything to life in a very human and engaging way.

Feeling very positive about the opportunities in the North for both nature recovery and aligned growth as set out in @naturenorth.bsky.social strategy and so eloquently by all of the speakers

Love the fact that nature recovery and growth can go hand in hand, something that @naturenorth.bsky.social have clearly articulated in their new strategy. Doesn’t everyone win in this way? It means we don’t have to choose.

Great to be at the launch of @naturenorth.bsky.social strategy today. Ambitious plans to ensure the Northern region can lead the way in nature recovery and in building a nature positive economy.

Join me in nominating your favourite wildlife charity in this draw for £5000. I’ve nominated @freshwaterhabitats.bsky.social animal.movementforgood.com/index.php?cn...

Can you join me and sign this petition to protect the social care system for those who need it most? @providersunite.bsky.social petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Great campaign from @hospiceuk.bsky.social and most of the hospices. I have made a gift in my will to Forget Me Not Children’s Hospice in West Yorkshire who do incredible work for the children and families in their care.

One year on the government could mark the anniversary of this scheme with more ambition and more follow through to ensure commitments are delivered. What this does show is that development and nature restoration can work hand in hand with mutual benefit.

Good report from the BBC but usual focus on the numbers of ‘medically fit’ patients who cant go home. In my experience lots of these discharges are unsafe and result in a revolving door to A&E. We need to also investigate these assessments as fit for purpose. www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Next Wednesday I'll be talking to the House of Lords Environment and Climate Change Committee about nitrogen in freshwaters and the new approaches we need to develop to protect freshwater biodiversity. committees.parliament.uk/committee/51... Programme here: committees.parliament.uk/work/8898/ni...

I’ve just nominated @freshwaterhabitats.bsky.social in the movement for good awards. I am hoping they will secure a £1000 contribution. Can you join me, it takes less than a minute to show your support and enhance their chances of winning. movementforgood.com
